Jan 7
1 Apre sa, Jezi t'ap mache toupatou nan peyi Galile, li pa t' vle ale nan peyi Jide menm, paske jwif yo t'ap chache touye li.
After these things Jesus continued to travel about in Galilee, for he did not wish to go about in Judea, because the Jews kept trying to kill him.
2 Jou fèt Joupa jwif yo te pre rive.
When the time of the Jewish feast of Tabernacles drew near,
3 Frè Jezi yo di l' konsa: Pa rete bò isit la. Ale nan Jide non. Konsa, disip ou yo va wè travay w'ap fè.
his brothers said to him. "Leave here and go into Judea, so that your disciples also may behold the works which you are doing.
4 Yon moun ki vle pou tout moun konnen l' pa dwe travay an kachèt. Avèk travay w'ap fè a, se pou ou kite tout moun wè ou.
"For no one ever does anything in secret if he himself seeks to be known publicly. If you are performing these signs, show yourself openly to the world."
5 (Men, frè l' yo pa t' kwè nan li.)
For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
6 Jezi di yo konsa: Lè pa m' lan poko sonnen. Pou nou, tout lè yo bon.
"My time is not yet come," said Jesus, "but your time is always at hand.
7 Moun k'ap viv dapre prensip ki nan lemonn pa ka rayi nou. Men, mwen menm yo rayi m' paske mwen di sa y'ap fè a pa bon.
"The world cannot hate you, but me it does hate, because I am bearing testimony against it, that its ways are wicked.
8 Nou mèt al nan fèt la. Mwen menm, mwen pa prale. Paske, lè pa m' lan poko rive.
Do you go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fully come."
9 Apre li fin di yo sa, li rete rete l' nan peyi Galile.
After saying this, he remained in Galilee; but after his brothers had gone up to feast,
10 Apre frè l' yo fin pati al nan fèt la, Jezi ale tou, men an kachèt. Li pa t' kite pesonn wè li.
then he went too - not openly, but as it were a secret.
11 Jwif yo menm t'ap chache l' pandan tout fèt la. Yo t'ap di: Kote l' ye konsa?
The Jews meanwhile kept looking for him at feast, and saying, "Where is he?" "I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.
12 Nan tout foul moun yo, yo t'ap pale nan zòrèy sou li anpil. Gen moun ki t'ap di: Se yon nonm debyen wi. Gen lòt ki t'ap di: Non, se pete l'ap pete moun.
and there was much disputing about him among the crowd. Some would say, "He is a good man." Others. "No! he is misleading the people." "While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 Men, pesonn pa t' nonmen non l' fò pou lòt moun pa t' tande, sitèlman yo te pè jwif yo.
No one, however, was speaking openly about him, for fear of the Jews. "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.
14 Te rete kat jou ankò pou fèt la te fini, lè Jezi al nan tanp lan. Li kòmanse pale.
But when it was already the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. "I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 Jwif yo pa t' manke sezi. Yo t'ap di: Ki jan nonm sa a fè konnen tout bagay sa yo? Li pa janm al lekòl.
The Jews were amazed. They said, "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One.
16 Jezi reponn yo: Bagay m'ap moutre nou la a, se pa nan mwen yo soti. Yo soti nan Bondye ki voye m' lan.
In reply Jesus said to them; "My teaching is not mine, but is his who sent me. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Si yon moun deside fè sa Bondye vle, la konnen si bagay m'ap moutre yo soti nan Bondye osinon si se pawòl pa m' m'ap pale.
"If any one wills to do God’s will he shall know concerning my teaching, whether it is from God, or I speak my own authority. "Dedicate them in thy truth; thy word is truth.
18 Yon moun k'ap pale pawòl pa l', se chache l'ap chache fè lwanj tèt li. Men, moun k'ap travay pou sa sèvi yon lwanj pou moun ki voye l' la, se verite a pou l' di. Pa gen riz nan li.
"The man who speaks on his own authority is always seeking his own glory. But one who is eager for the glory of Him who sent him, he is true, and therefore is nothing false about him.
19 Moyiz te ban nou Lalwa a, pa vre? Men, nou yonn pa obeyi Lalwa. Poukisa n'ap chache touye mwen?
"Did not Moses give you the Law? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you seeking to kill me?"
20 Foul moun yo reponn li: Gen lè ou gen yon move lespri sou ou? Ki moun k'ap chache touye ou la a?
The crowd answered. "You have a demon! Who is trying kill you?"
21 Jezi reponn yo: Mwen fè yon sèl bagay, epi nou tout nou sezi pou sa!
Jesus answered them. "There was one thing I did, and you are all amazed.
22 Moyiz ban nou lòd pou nou sikonsi tout ti gason, epi nou dakò pou yo sikonsi yon moun gwo jou repo a. (Men, kite m' di nou: se pa t' Moyiz ki te kòmanse ak sikonsizyon an non, se te zansèt nou yo.)
"Consider, therefore, Moses has given you circumcision - not that Moses originated it, but the fathers - and you are accustomed to circumcise a child even on the Sabbath.
23 Si nou ka sikonsi yon ti gason jou repo a pou n' ka fè sa Lalwa Moyiz la mande a, pa gen rezon pou n' ankòlè sou mwen si m' geri yon moun ki te malad nan tout kò l', yon jou repo.
"If a child receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the Law of Moses may not be broken, how can you be angry with me because I made a man sound and well on the Sabbath?
24 Pa jije sou laparans. Jije dapre sa ki dwat.
"Do not judge according to appearance. Judge justly."
25 Lè sa a, te gen kèk moun Jerizalèm ki t'ap di: Apa nonm y'ap chache touye a?
Then some of the men of Jerusalem were saying. "Is not this the man they are seeking to kill?
26 Gade l'ap pale lib devan tout moun, yo pa di l' anyen. Gen lè chèf nou yo rekonèt se Kris la vre li ye!
"And look! he is speaking boldly and they are saying nothing to him. Can it possibly be that the rulers have really discovered that he is the Christ?
27 Men, yo toujou di lè Kris la va rive, pesonn p'ap konnen ki bò l' soti. Men nonm sa a, nou konnen ki bò l' soti.
"But we know this man and where he is from; but when the Christ comes no one will know where he comes from."
28 Jezi t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay nan tanp lan. Li di yo byen fò: Nou rekonèt mwen? Nou konnen ki bò m' soti? Se pa mwen ki fè lide pou m' vini non. Moun ki voye m' lan, li la tout bon. Men, nou pa konnen li.
So Jesus cried aloud as he was teaching in the Temple, and said. "You both know me and you know where I am from; and I am not come on my own authority, but he who sent me is trustworthy, and him you do not know.
29 Mwen menm, mwen konnen l', paske se bò kote l' mwen soti. Se li menm ki voye mwen.
"But I now him, because I am from him and he sent me."
30 Lè sa a, yo t'ap chache arete l', men pesonn pa t' mete men sou li paske lè l' pa t' ankò rive.
Then they kept seeking to arrest him, but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 Atousa, te gen anpil moun nan foul pèp la ki te kwè nan li. Yo t'ap di: Lè Kris la va vini, èske la fè plis mirak pase nonm sa a?
But many of the crowd believed on him and began to say, "The Christ, when he comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"
32 Farizyen yo vin konnen sa yo t'ap di nan zòrèy sou Jezi nan pèp la. Chèf prèt yo ansanm ak farizyen yo voye kèk gad pou arete Jezi.
The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the high priest and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
33 Jezi di konsa: Se pou yon ti tan ankò mwen la ak nou. Apre sa, mwen pral jwenn moun ki voye m' lan.
Then Jesus said to them. "Still for a little longer I am with you, and then I am going my way to him who sent me.
34 N'a chache m', men nou p'ap jwenn mwen, paske nou p'ap ka vini kote m' prale a.
"You will search for me and will not find me, and where I am you cannot come."
35 Jwif yo yonn t'ap mande lòt: Ki bò l' prale menm pou nou pa kapab jwenn li? Eske li pral menm kote ak jwif ki gaye nan mitan moun Lagrès yo pou l' moutre moun Lagrès yo anpil bagay?
Then the Jews said to one another. "Where does this fellow intend to go, so that we shall not find him? He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and to teach the Greeks, is he?
36 L'ap plede di: N'a chache m', men nou p'ap jwenn mwen. Nou pa ka vini kote mwen prale a. Kisa sa vle di menm?
"What does he mean saying, ‘You shall seek me and you shall not find me,’ and ‘Where I am you cannot come’?"
37 Dènye jou fèt la, se li ki te pi enpòtan. Jou sa a, Jezi kanpe devan foul moun yo, li di yo byen fò: Si yon moun swaf dlo, li mèt vin jwenn mwen, li mèt vin bwè.
Now the last day, that the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried in a loud voice.
38 Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan mwen, y'ap wè gwo kouran dlo k'ap bay lavi koule soti nan kè yo, jan sa ekri nan Liv la.
"If any man thirst let him come to me and drink. From the heart of him who believes in me will flow, as the Scripture said, rivers of living water."
39 (Jezi t'ap pale ki jan moun ki kwè nan li yo tapral resevwa Sentespri. Lè sa a, Sentespri pa t' ankò desann sou pesonn, paske Jezi pa t' ankò moute nan syèl la.)
Now he said this concerning the Spirit whom those who believed in him should receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40 Te gen kèk moun nan foul pèp la, lè yo fin tande pawòl sa yo, yo t'ap di konsa: Se vre wi. Nonm sa a, se pwofèt la!
Some of the crowd who had been listening to these discourses began to say, "Without a doubt this man is a Prophet."
41 Gen lòt ki t'ap di: Se Kris la. Gen lòt ankò ki t'ap di: Men, Kris la pa ka soti nan peyi Galile.
Other said, "He is the Christ." But others were saying. "Surely the Christ is not to come out of Galilee, is he?
42 Liv la di: Kris la, se yon pitit pitit David la ye. Se Betleyèm li gen pou l' soti, lavil kote David te pase tout lavi li a.
"Does not the Scripture say that the Christ is coming of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, David’s town?"
43 Te vin gen divizyon nan mitan foul moun yo poutèt Jezi.
So a division arose in the crowd concerning him. Some of them wished to apprehend him, but no one laid hands on him.
44 Gen ladan yo ki te vle arete l', men pesonn pa t' mete men sou li.
Then the officers returned to the chief priest and Pharisees,
45 Lè gad yo tounen vin jwenn yo, chèf prèt yo ak farizyen yo mande yo: Poukisa nou pa mennen l' ban nou?
and they asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"
46 Gad yo reponn: Nou poko janm wè yon nonm ki pale tankou nonm sa a.
The officers answered, "Never yet did a man speak like this man."
47 Farizyen yo di: Gen lè nou kite l' pran tèt nou tou?
"Surely you have not been led astray, have you? answered the Pharisees.
48 Eske nou wè gen yon sèl nan chèf nou yo osinon nan farizyen yo ki kwè nan li?
"Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?
49 Moun sa yo gen lè pa konn lalwa Moyiz la. Se moun ki gen madichon!
"As for this mob who do not understand the Law, they are accursed!"
50 Nikodèm te yonn nan farizyen ki te la yo. Se menm Nikodèm sa a ki te al wè Jezi kèk jou pase. Li di yo konsa:
Nicodemus, one of their number, he who had formerly visited Jesus, said to them,
51 Dapre Lalwa nou, nou pa ka jije yon moun san nou pa tande l' anvan, san nou pa konnen sa l' fè.
"Our law does not condemn the accused, does it, before hearing his defense, and finding out what he is doing?"
52 Yo reponn li: Gen lè, ou menm tou, ou se moun Galile? Al etidye sa ki ekri nan Liv la, wa wè pa gen pwofèt ki janm soti nan peyi Galile.
In answer they said to him. "You are not from Galilee, are you? Search for yourself, and see that from Galilee arises no prophet."
53 Apre sa, tout moun al lakay yo.
Then they departed each to his own house.
